Hickoryworks Pure
Brown County Shagbark Hickory Syrup
From
the backwoods of Indiana comes a sweet, smoky concoction
to replace sugar or maple syrup in your favorite glaze recipes.
Unlike syrups made from tree sap, this amber mixture is
made from the bark of the shagbark hickory tree, which is
native only to Indiana, Kentucky and Michigan. Produced
by a husband and wife team from trees on their own land,
the syrup has a rich, woodsy flavor that no industrially-made
syrup can match. Combine with Bourbon, and you’ve
got the perfect marinade for ribs! An 8 oz. bottle is $6
at www.hickoryworks.com.

Memphis
Championship Barbecue Sauce
Sticking
to Memphis terrain, Memphis Championship Barbecue founder
Mike Mills packs his sauces in two varieties: Original
and Spicy. Mills, who has won the Memphis in May championship
on several occasions, recommends marinating meats with
“Magic Dust” instead of sauce, which he suggests
you save until the end of the cooking time and keep on
hand to dip the finished meats. The “Original”
sauce has a sweet-and-sour tang while the “Spicy”
variation is a blast of chiles and vinegar. The products
do contain peanut oil. Sold by the 20-ounce bottle for
$3.99 or by the gallon. The Memphis Championship
Barbecue Magic Dust is a “blend of 18 spices”
with heavy notes of cumin, dried onion and peppercorns.
Sold in three-ounce jars for $3.99. Visit memphis-bbq.com for purchase. |

Goode
Company BBQ Sauce
Here is a sauce that proves that Texans
know their barbecue. It comes from the Goode
Company, a popular Texas barbecue chain that also sells
barbecue products. Their signature sauce is a great mix
of both sweet and spicy and is powerfully packed with flavors
of honey, bacon, chili powder and other spices. Plus, it
has a thinner consistency than most sauces on the market—think
more marinade, less gravy—which makes it easier for
meats to absorb its smoky flavor. It works best on ribs,
chicken or smoked brisket, but barbecue fans can also use
it on sandwiches or as a dipping sauce. The sauce is available
in Original, Garlic and Jalapeño Garlic. Dieters
can also try Goode Company’s assorted barbecue rubs,
which offer intense seasonings without the calories. For
more information, visit www.goodecompany.com.

Mariani's feature on America's
Best Barbecue.
